There are always all kinds of little things which pop up and slow down what can be done. The next release is usually then filled with everything that didn't get done because builds and updates were slowed down. Removing several thousand packages in a release would require 1. How are you going to remove it? Everyone add a ExcludeArch: , someone fix koji to only allow a specific list? a shadow koji which only builds for x86_32? etc 2. What else is broken that comes up because of this. Removing arm32 actually caused problems in completely unrelated parts of the build system because of weird things. 3. Who is going to do the work? I really don't see this being ready by Fedora 44 with the current 'need to get 300+ cat-like developers to agree' that generally needs to happen. -- Stephen Smoogen, Red Hat Automotive Let us be kind to one another, for most of us are fighting a hard battle. -- Ian MacClaren
